Read-only API · Public preview

Property rules your software can cite.

The preview API exposes the same current, published records as the public site. Every value carries provenance and version metadata.

Preview endpoints

Small surface, explicit contract.

The public preview is read-only and intentionally narrow. Authentication, paid quotas, and service-level promises are not active.

GET /api/v1/health

Release, service status, and data-store reachability.

GET /api/v1/jurisdictions

Published jurisdictions and current topic coverage.

GET /api/v1/rules?jurisdiction=CA&topic=security-deposits

Current published rules filtered by optional jurisdiction and topic.

Contract boundaries

What the preview does—and does not—promise

Only records marked published are returned.
Missing data does not mean a jurisdiction has no rule.
Dates and source locators are part of the response contract.
Responses are informational and do not decide compliance.
The preview has no commercial uptime or completeness guarantee.
